Pep Guardiola is monitoring Real’s talent, Marco Asensio.
The 22-year-old Spanish striker, Marco Asensio, was one of the best last season with Real Madrid, scoring goals and helping Zinedine Zidane to triumph in La Liga, Champions League, Spain’s Super Cup and so on.
Asensio, who is 22 years old, started well this season, scoring impressive goals against Barcelona in the Super Cup and also in the first games in the league.
But we are already in January, things have changed completely. Asensio now only plays in the Cup matches and Zidane uses him to rest some main players, the Spaniard is not the first choice.
He has no place in the starting formation even in this time where Real Madrid is in bad form and also Benzema and Bale were injured.
Asensio’s playing time are now a reason more for the media to speculate on the future of the Spanish, where there is interest from many European clubs.
According to British who reported days earlier that Jose Mourinho is ready to offer 100 million euros for the 22-year-old, now Manchester City is also ready to sign the Spanish talent.
“Manchester Evening News” reports that after failing to transfer Alexis Sanchez, Pep Guardiola will insist during the summer to transfer Asensio, because he believes the Spaniard will become one of the best football players.
Asensio has scored eight goals in 29 appearances this season, most of the games started from the bench.
In Real’s 7: 1 win against Deportivo on Sunday, Asensio was not included in the second half as well.
